If its porn, then save it locally and close the tabs. Or make a list of the url addresses that you've copy-pasted into a txt file.

>>738867003
I already have my browser set up so my tabs (well, not my private tabs with porn, but...) restore when I restart the browser, it's just that I often have not-yet posted half typed up replies to shit open at any given time that i'd lose if the browser closed, and with the amount of tabs I have open, it's a pain to restart the browser since it takes like 3 minutes to fully load everything

what I think I really need is better tab management tools, or to get control over my anxiety/OCD around closing my browser

If there were a way to completely suspend the CPU processes of my browser and then just un-suspend them when i'm done gaming that would be great but last time I tried that with tools that could do it, I couldn't get every single process associated with my browser to pause/get suspended

>>738866684
Set a goal to clear out 5-10 tabs a day. It's simple and effortless in the moment and before you know it your backlog will be gone. Also make sure to take some time away from the computer for a bit, even if it's just to sit outside for like 15 minutes. 24/7 screen time will make you neurotic

>>738867115
I did this back in 2019, build a high end PC, played mostly Terraria, Stardew and Factorio. I've been meaning to upgrade for a while, but not with these fucking prices I ain't.

>>738867531
I add at least like 20 tabs a day though

>>738867587
What are these tabs that you're adding? Is it really necessary for them to be open? And if you're just dumping them into this huge pile, are they really worthwhile?

>>738866157
now wait until a zoomer faggot playing 10 hours a day shit talks you when he kills you in a game

>Get decent high end gaming PC
>Get hundreds of games
>Never even want to turn it on or play any of them
The final resting place of all PC gamers.

If I don't have them open I will forget about them

I've been trying to use bookmarks lately which helps but even so there's some things I intend to reply to or or read that I don't wanna shut

>>738867774
But like what are they? How long of a reading or a reply is it that you can't just do it in the moment?

>>738867678
I've stopped playing multiplayer PvP games after I've reached 1000th hour in Deadlock

>>738867873

>>738868000
why is it so addictive?

>>738868038

My PC is finally powerful, but I don't know what to do about the overheating.

>>738868229
Fan or water?

>>738867428
You might be ignorant of some things. I know this because modern browsers don't try to load all tabs at once when you start them. They only load the ones you click on.

If you still take 3 minutes to load just the list of tabs, then I don't know what to say except what the fuck is wrong with you? I've had like a hundred tabs of porn open before. It would take me an afternoon to go through them and sort out what I will save, what I will bookmark, etc. But you have so many tabs that it takes 3 minutes to load everything? That's insane.

>>738868229
A bucket of water should take care of that

>>738868223
That's why you keep your old PCs and parts from them

is 3080 10Gb still enough for modern AAA slop?

Same except I have the time and there's nothing worth playing that also needs a 5090

>>738866675
This started for me about the time I turned 30. I can counter it with energy drinks or cocaine but both were terrible for me more than a decade ago, nevermind now.

I basically stopped playing games after things ended with an ex, because I would play on handhelds while we hung out and did other stuff. For a while I thought it was just work and stuff keeping me from having the energy to play. Now I don't have any of those obstacles and I play even less.

>>738867852
Some 4chan threads, some fourms, lots of articles about niche academic shit, twitter posts, etc

If I replied to everything right away I'd spend my whole day doing replies, and a lot of it is stuff to research later

>>738868293
It's a lot of tabs, usually like 1000-2000 per browser profile, and I have multiple profiles

>>738871129
ever used browser groups? I started using them recently to manage my tabs.
>group all the songs I'm interested in together into a "songs" group
>close group until I need it again
>repeat with books, any videos I want to watch down the line, mods I'm interested in for games I like, etc
also nice if there are just certain pages you check regularly.

>>738871129
4chan threads, Twitter posts, and forums all have expiration dates on them. If you don't reply right away, your window is gone, you missed the conversation. If there's slower threads that you want to keep tabs on, use 4chanX's thread watcher. Enable "watch thread" on your forum threads and use the bookmark feature on Twitter. Close all that shit

You guy don't understand it. YOU NEED TO MIX THINGS UP.
You play some games, then you switch to the anime/movies or something else, after that you can go back to games.
This way you won't have a burnout

>>738866675
>have job
>come back tired and sleepy
>stay awake 1-2 hours before going to sleep at like 9pm
Good things I have WFH twice a week so I play vidya during that time and leave everything for when I'm at the office
I'm sure my tiredness comes because sometimes I have nothing to do at work, and trying to spend 8 hours on my phone, watching videos, listening to music is worse than having something to do

>>738866157
>finally have my dream gaming pc
>too depressed to enjoy anything and spend my time doomscrolling and shitposting

>>738871395
Yes, I've started to use them recently and it helps, but it's still not nearly enough

>>738871406
Twitter posts and most forums don't. 4chan threads do, though, but that's only part of them

>>738873216
Yes they do. If you go back to any of the twitter tabs you have open there will be nothing for you, no one to listen to what you have to say

Next step is realising most of those big budget AAA games are shit and going back to simple 2D games.

>I can counter it with energy drinks or cocaine
Take my advice and taper off that starting now. I fucked my heart properly by bombing it with caffeine and now have chronic fatigue (at 33). The only real solution for it is solid 7-8 hours of good sleep, otherwise I'm completely fucked for an entire day, with fune side effects like chest pain and low circulation.

What worked for me is just finding out I had undiagnosed ADHD my whole life. No matter how much I slept at night I'd still be exhausted and I guess that was a symptom of it. The prescription they gave me lets me actually function and it's been weird being able to get stuff done and not need to take naps constantly.

>>738873648
What's the prescription out of curiosity? I have the same issue but I thought it was undiagnosed autism or something; i post here after all.

>>738873747
It could be autism too, honestly. They often come together. I'm on vyvanse, though. I take one in the morning if I don't forget like a moron and it lasts pretty much all day.

>>738873430
Anon, you do realize some people actually check their reply notifications, right?

I was on methylphenidate which worked well to give me a sense of mental clarity and allowing me to focus on tasks, but it still didn't help me actually initiate them so it was still a struggle to actually start the things I needed to do rather then hyperfocusing in on some other random thing

But lately the 20mg pills have started to wear off just within 2-3 hours. I switched to Vyvanse in the mornings and then an adderall in the evenings and it's hard for me to even tell if they are doing anything other then cutting my appetite a bit

>>738875567
The actual starting of tasks is still a problem for me, but not as bad as before. The main thing has really been my energy levels. Before I started it, even as a kid, I was genuinely exhausted all the time. I just thought that was normal or I wasn't sleeping well or something. Thankfully I'm still on a pretty low dose so I can just get it upped as needed and be good for a while. The appetite cutting has honestly been an issue for me though. I was already underweight even before getting on it.

Then drown in your thousands of tabs I guess, you stupid nigger. If you're not gonna even try to improve your situation then I'm not gonna bother trying to help you anymore. Disregarding the neuroticism of this whole thing, you've built yourself a cage of your own incompetence by not having the slightest idea of how to organize the information that you're so obsessed with.
